In March 2018, MIDI, the Gzira Local Counci and the Manoel Island Foundation signed a guardianship deed un- der which MIDI undertook to ensure access to the foreshore at Manoel Island at all times. MIDI has facilitated this access by providing a free shuttle service for visitors during weekends and public holidays throughout the sum- mer months. "The provision of this shuttle service forms part of MIDI's commitment to provide better access to the swimming zones on Manoel Island to the local community," MIDI CEO Mark Portelli said. "The success of this year's shuttle service is ex- tremely encouraging." Gzira Mayor Conrad Borg Manche thanked MIDI for its continuous support and for always being at the forefront of supporting community ini- tiatives promoted by the local council. "The support for the shuttle service follows on the success of the Manoel Island Guardi- anship Agreement, which has paved the way for further col- laboration between MIDI and the Gzira Local Council," he said. MIDI is continuously seeking ways to make Manoel Island a more sustainable destination. Earlier this year the company collaborated with the NGO Zibel to install a Seabin in the marina area. This Seabin cap- tures an estimated 1.5 Kgs of floating debris per day includ- ing micro-plastics up to 2 mm in size. MIDI has also provided free berthing facilities for Zi- bel's boat at the Manoel Island yacht marina. MIDI also provides cleaning services on land. Through its maintenance unit, the com- pany provides bins along the beaches and in all the areas which are frequented by visi- tors thereby ensuring that all public spaces on the island are kept clean and safe for families. As the foreshore of Manoel Island continues to gain pop- ularity as a destination for people to enjoy, the Guardian- ship Deed guarantees that the foreshore and the green glacis public park – measuring 80,000 sq.m, and which is to be devel- oped as part of the Manoel Is- land project – will remain ac- cessible to the general public. Over 50,000 visitors at Manoel Island between July and September MIDI provides a free shuttle service for visitors in the summer months
